[question]: How to handle the scenario when the app is terminated and the iPhone is locked?

[joaofyz]

How can we help?

Hi,

I'm developing a Flutter app and using the OneSignal to push notifications.

In this scenario (iPhone locked with app terminated), it seems that, when the phone receives the push notification, the app root screen is launched automatically by the iOS (the OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler is only called when the user clicks in the push notification).

Is this correct?

If so, how I can handle this scenario in order to identify in the root screen that the app was launched due to being received a push notification? If I cannot control this, the root screen will have the default behavior and navigate to some screen as it happens when the app is opened normally (not by a push notification)?

Thanks in advance for your contributions.

@joaofyz To clarify your question are you saying that the notification opened handler is not being fired when the app is launched via tapping on a push notification when the app is killed?

Hello @emawby

No, when we tap the push the handler is called correctly.

But in iOS when you have killed the app and the phone is locked, when you receive the push, your app is launched by the OS automatically even if you do not click on anything and the handler will only be called once you tap the push notification.

I wanted to know if there's any way to detect on the automatic launch that the app was launched because we received a push notification?

Thanks

@joaofyz I am not familiar with the behavior you are describing. Are you experiencing the app being launched into the foreground whenever you receive a push notification?
